Middle Of The Week

I was thinking about my blog today while I was at work, and yes I was focused mostly on my work, but it was a slower moment and so I began to realize that most of my posting happens on the weekend for some reason and thought I should update tonight for some of my mid week action.

Yesterday I got to go to an all men's Bible Study from the church I went to on Sunday. It meets in the food court across the street from my hotel so it is super convenient. It is a good mix of ages and really it isn't so much of a study as rather a time of relationship building and sharing life from what God is speaking to us and moving around us. A great time to connect and I wish I had found out about it sooner because it is a nice break to the monotony of the work week. 

Today is my Thursday random restaurant night. There is a group from work who goes to a new restaurant in the area every Thursday just to try out new places. It is really fun and tonight we went to a Mexican place. Yep Mexican in Japan... It actually was really good. Not as big of helpings as you would get in the states but I really like the meal. Some of the food had a different kind of flavor to it... I have tasted its undertones in other food before... so I will call it the flavor of Japan. It seems to be in a lot of things. 

Thursday is also laundry day! This is a bachelor's dream. Every Monday and Thursday I send in a bag of dirty close and then the following Monday or Thursday I get them back, clean folded and put in a little plastic bag. So if I turn in clothes on Monday, I have them back Thursday all done up just like the photo. It is awesome! 
I got to thinking about it and right now I, have breakfast made for me every day, fresh towels for my shower every morning, someone else makes my bed for me, does my laundry, I have a 15 min walk to work along a harbor, and I get to eat out all the time. I have to say that I have no reason to complain about Japan. My only wish is that I could have erin here to share it with me.

  1. Hi Nick-

    Sounds like an easy rhythm to get into! Glad to hear that you are enjoying your Japan experience. I must say that you are a brave man in trying new foods :).

    Last night we took a good size group to the Rock and Worship Roadshow and had a great time. Things have been going well with the youth. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
